i have a specification list for the 1991 G40 and it specifies that the cassete player in them should be a Panasonic H05, digital-tune stereo radio/cassete, with pull-out facility.

i Hope that is of some help to you!

Sounds like you are converting a G40 back to standard! as am i, hows it going? got any pictures?

its quite annoying as i have a perfectly operational Panasonic J05 radio which is probably identical!

Regards

lovely looking G40 you have there! very nice indeed!

mine looks like this:

and here, if you forget the roof rack:

Good luck with restoring her back to original! i won't be long following!

make sure you keep us up to date with your progress!

oh, and has for the radio, the one i have differs slightly from the model number of the one you require! if there is actually any difference i am not sure (by the way, the one i quoted you was for a 1991 G40, so they may differ from year to year too!)

Who needs a cd player when you have a ipod and one of these*:

* - these are still illegal in the uk.

i would never break the law like that!!!

i still like the abilty to play cd's though, i personally wouldn't sacrifice my own comfort even for something small like that for the sake of keeping it retro....i'd still keep the orginal so i could change it back without damaging the car but hey, everyone is different

I can never be bothered changing cds on my mp3 HU, so getting one of them is just the next step for me. Shame the radio in my mk2 is crap.

that's the other reason too, my old mk2 blaupunkt radio sounded like listening to a wartime radio, new sony is clear as a bell

got to the bottom off the original radio cassette for a 92k, i picked the car up today and in amoung all the paper work was a booklet for a panasonic cq-d50fnv pull out radio cassette.
